Wow! It has been so long since I have been on Fatsecret, or so it seems. Life is doing great! I got a new job as a server in a super busy resteraunt, so I have been so active lately and I have forgot just how much I have missed the action! Going from a job where I was sedentary for a solid 8 hours to a job where I will work for a solid 6 hours on my feet needs room for quite the adjustment. I am thankful that after my job at Nordstrom, I was able to find one so quickly, and one that is comparable fiscally.
I have been bad about going to the gym lately, but with all of the adjustments I feel it is necissary to take time in getting into the swing of things, besides, I can now adjust my "life-style" activity on Fatsecret to 'Very active'. And that in itself excites me greatly!

Well, today is playing out as one of the worst days I've had in a while. My boyfriend and I have broken up. We have been together for 4 years, and it's a weird concept. I just want to bawl my eyes out, but unfortunatley, I have to work a full 8 hr shift before I can let go of some of this pent up saddness. I just wish things could be different.
I got a lovely letter from the electric company that my electricity will be shut off tomorrow until April 5 (when I get paid). I have called, and alas, there is no solution but to pay them $400 by tomorrow. Uhhh, yeah, I have that just laying around. It would help if my ex had a job, but I screwed myself on that one when I have been paying for his burden for the past year.
Wow, I really can't take all of this at once, and I just want to curl up into a ball until I can come out and have the sun shine on me, I need to have some relief from this stress. And not just an escape, like working out, or eating, or talking to friends, but actual financial releif.
This is more of a subconcious chain of thought that I have not vented anywhere but here.
I really just don't know what to do anymore.

Took a week off of the Gym to substitue for a spring break. I am so used to traveling, so to not travel was a bit saddening to me. So I was like, "Hey, gonna refresh these batteries, and get crackin once my school schedule is back up and running". Needless to say, it worked out just fine! Got an awesome 45 mins in today at the gym. Worked on that elliptical for a full 30 mins! It was awesome!
I have found that I get sooo motivated when I listen to Chemical Brothers and watch the First 48. I didn't even realize when I was half way done with my workout, it was awesome!

Had a great encounter with a girl in the locker room. I had seen her while I was working out, and she was just pushing it to her limits. You could tell that exercising was not easy for her, and it made me feel good for her. It is a struggle for me too! It looks like we have about the same amount of weight to throw around, which is not easy when you are trying to bust your ass. So, I ran into her in the sauna, and we started to talk about our journies, and it turns out she has lost 60lbs! She says that she had stopped thinking of the number, that is so daunting!(which is the same amount that I want to lose) and changed her additude by noticing the small steps and awesome life style changes she has made. 10 mo later and she said she can't believe what a difference it has made. It inspired me so much, but the story is so similar. I have made changes in my eating, and I now exercise on a regular basis. Sometimes, I get so overwhealmed by the numbers that I dont realize how good I am actually doing.

Besides that, life is good. I have been running into money troubles lately. Which can be hard for picking healthy options, just because I want to stretch my dollar as far as it will go. Hopefully, this will all be resolved soon so I can actually grocery shop.
I have mounting stress (with being a full time student, full time employee, full time girlfriend, full time friend) , but I am trying to work it all out with working out and sticking my nose to the grind stone. Things will look up, I just need to keep reminding myself that....
This too shall pass.

Well, this feels like a bust.
Although I have adopted a healthy work out routine, and I am TRYING to get my food under control, I can't help but see that I am not giving it my all.
Go BIG or go HOME, right?
My caloric intake has been atrocious these past few days, so I am making it a personal goal of mine to not eat more than 1300 calories!
Seriously, real talk, this is happening. No more EXCUSES.
I saw a picture of myself when I was skinny. I looked so good and I don't know if it inspired me or if it had depressed me, sometimes it is hard to tell.
But whether or not I subconciously take it as inspiration does not matter, I will take it as inspiration. It has been depression that has got me here in the first place.
I have to make my own inspiration!
I will rise above and conquer this!
